Shift or Get Off the Pot

If you're feeling stuck and in need of some inspiration to transform your life, then this episode is for you! Get ready for an enlightening conversation with Andrew Dewar covering his dramatic shift from CPA to energy healer! Through a personal narrative marked by trauma, healing, and self-discovery, Andrew provides hope and guidance for anyone feeling stuck or seeking purpose.

Andrew shares his dramatic story of leaving his career as a CPA to embrace the world of personal development and energy healing. The turning point came when an injury forced him to face deep-seated trauma, particularly dealing with his sister’s severe autism. Growing up, Andrew was both her protector and the target of her aggression, affecting him emotionally and physically. Despite his skills and success, this early trauma manifested as deep-seated fears and an incessant feeling of unworthiness.

His healing began with EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprogramming), a type of therapy that focuses on reprogramming your brain's response to trauma. The experience with EDMR opened the door to additional healing modalities such as Reiki and theta healing. Theta healing can help shift subconscious beliefs and energies. 

We delve into three levels of consciousness—beta, alpha, and theta, and the purpose of each one. Healing modalities like theta healing engage deeper states of consciousness. These deeper states foster emotional healing and allow for profound shifts in limiting beliefs. 

This episode is packed with insights and personal anecdotes, aiming to inspire you to live intentionally and embrace your unique purpose. Get comfortable, tune in, and prepare to shift your perspective and your life.

In today's episode, I focus on identifying the internal obstacles that may be holding you back from achieving your desired results. I’ll explore various limiting beliefs, share personal anecdotes, and offer practical steps you can take to recognize and let go of any mental barriers. 

Whether it's around money, self-worth, or relationships, this episode is packed with wisdom and strategies to help you shift your mindset and start creating the life you truly want. Stay tuned to learn how to recognize and overcome beliefs that may be keeping you stuck.

Timestamps

00:00 Overcoming limiting beliefs for a better life.
04:49 Struggle and chaos in upbringing and education.
08:11 Identify limiting beliefs.
11:14 Awareness of limiting patterns to change.
15:51 Self-respect and recognizing your value
17:42 Your purpose, value, and enormous capability.

Six Steps to Bust Limiting Beliefs

1).  Awareness – Notice what is showing up in your life. Notice any patterns that occur.  A pattern is a good indication that you’ve formed a belief that is derailing your efforts no matter how much outward activity you do. 

2.)  Identify a memory – See if you can identify your earliest thought about the block you are experiencing. Often, you’ll have a strong emotion associated with this memory.  

3. Get Curious – Is that belief true? Can I find evidence to the contrary?  

4. Decide – Now that you have the evidence, you get to make a choice. Do you want to hang on to that belief or are you ready to let it go? 

5. ) Fill the Void – If you're letting it go then you’ll have a void. You’ll want to fill that void with a new belief otherwise the familiar is going to fill it because we’re creatures of habit. Fill your mind with all the evidence you’ve gathered not on the block you may be experiencing. 

6.) Take Action – You must incorporate action, some type of action that will help you start building momentum. In my example of pushing past the financial set-point, I could make a few extra prospecting calls to increase my sales. What action can you take?

You got this!
